AIDS Quilt

The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a powerful, handcrafted tribute created to honor and remember those who have died from AIDS-related illnesses. Each panel of the quilt represents an individual lost to HIV/AIDS, often incorporating personal details and artwork. Launched in 1987, the quilt serves as both a memorial and a tool to raise awareness, humanizing the impact of the epidemic. Its large, colorful displays highlight the scale of loss and promote understanding and compassion. The quilt continues to be displayed at events worldwide, fostering community solidarity and advocacy for HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and research.
